T23 will not install Windows XP

Question

Hello IBM/Lenovo Community members!
My name is Justin. I recently aquired an old IBM T23 (type 2647) from my work. It is fully functional, and has some upgraded specs. Currently, it has 512 MB of SD RAM and a 40 GB hard drive that is not the original IBM one. It had Ubuntu 8.04 installed on it when I recieved the unit, but I wanted to install Windows XP Home SP2.
Here is where the problems begin. I have a legal copy of both XP Home SP2 and XP Professional SP2. Starting with the XP Home copy, I booted into the CD, ran Windows setup, formatted with NTFS, and all files copied onto the drive without error. However, when Windows setup preforms the system restart to launch it into the graphical installation mode, it will display the XP loading icon, and right when it should bring up the graphical setup, the screen goes black and disk activity stops. 
I zero-filled the drive with CBL Data Shredder to erase any extraneous Linux formatting (FAT16?) and performed the setup procedure again using the NTFS file format. Same problem. I tried everything again with the XP Pro disk. Same problem. I tried the disks in another PC that needed an OS, and they worked fine, so it wasn't the disks.
I tried removing all extraneous components (MPCI modem card, extra RAM, wireless PCMCIA card) and still had the same probem. I reset the BIOS, with the same problem.
What is really bizarre is that other operating systems will install fine, but XP, for whatever reason, simply won't. I've experienced stop errors before with XP setup if the machine is using really weird 3rd party video drivers, but at that point in setup, the graphical setup should be using generic drivers, and the S3 graphics chip in the T23 is pretty standard anyway, correct?
Can anyone think of why my IBM simply will not let XP be installed? 

Answer 1

This is what I did to resolve the issue:
To resolve this issue, identify the user account that is used to run the program, and then assign the "Impersonate a client after authentication" user right to that user account. To do this, follow these steps:
1.     Click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Local Security Policy.     
2.     Expand Local Policies, and then click User Rights Assignment.     
3.     In the right pane, double-click Impersonate a client after authentication.     
4.     In the Local Security Policy Setting dialog box, click Add.     
5.     In the Select Users or Group dialog box, click the user account that you want to add, click Add, and then click OK.     
6.     Click OK.     
Note To troubleshoot situations where you cannot determine the user account that is used to run the program, and where you want to verify that the symptoms that you are experiencing are caused by the user right, assign the "Impersonate a client after authentication" user right to the Everyone group, and then start the program. If the program works correctly, the issue that you are experiencing may be caused by the new security setting.
The above is actually instructions for Windows 2000, but was the solution for fixing the installer on XP SP2.
Thanks to all for your help suggestions
